4,12-Bis(2,2-dibromo-vinyl)[2.2]paracyclo-phane.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(20)H(16)Br(4), both vinylic substituents were introduced by a Corey-Fuchs reaction using 4,12-diform-yl[2.2]paracyclo-phane as starting material. The title compound may be used as a valuable precursor for the synthesis of diethyn-yl[2.2]paracyclo-phane. The title mol-ecule is centrosymmetric with a crystallographic center of inversion between the centers of the two phenyl rings. A strong tilting is observed with an inter-planar angle between the best aromatic plane and the vinyl plane of 49.4 (5)°. No significant inter-molecular inter-actions are found in the crystal.
